If you’re trying to lose weight, the goal is to eat healthily and get fewer calories in conjunction with exercise. Slim & Sassy® TrimShake has a variety of uses, in addition to smoothies. To give you some different ideas, we’ve compiled the following three recipes, with the most basic option possible for each type of recipe. When you’re ready for more variety, we have also included ways you can change up each recipe to suit your tastes.
Overnight Oats
The premise behind overnight oats is to make breakfast as fast, healthy, and easy as possible. For the purposes of this recipe, you always use old-fashioned oats as quick oats won’t work.
Ingredients
¾ cup almond milk or oat milk
½ scoop Vanilla TrimShake or Chocolate TrimShake
½ cup old-fashioned oats
Instuctions
Ways to change it up:
Use ¼ cup Greek Yogurt and ⅓ cup almond milk instead of just almond milk. Or, you can also add in a small amount of any of the following: hemp seeds, goji berries, berries, banana, cacao nibs, nut butter, and chia seeds (ground or whole).
No-Bake Peanut Butter Protein Bars
The peanut butter recipe below is a classic take on a homemade protein bar, full of good ingredients that will help fuel your body the right way. With eight grams of protein per serving, TrimShake in any flavor is a great addition to any protein bar or energy ball.
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup natural peanut butter or any other nut butter
½ cup Vanilla TrimShake
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup cacao nibs or chocolate chips
Instructions
Ways to change it up:
Make the same recipe into balls instead of protein bars for a quick bite-size treat. You can also see our recipe for Wild Orange Power Bites for a different option. You can also add in coconut, dried apples, raisins, or use Chocolate TrimShake instead of Vanilla.
TrimShake Smoothie
When it comes to smoothies, there are nearly endless ways to combine ingredients so that you’re not only drinking a glass of plain chocolate, vanilla, or orange TrimShake every day. Instead, add some fruit or essential oils to your blender.
Ingredients
1 banana, frozen
1 scoop Chocolate TrimShake
½ cup almond milk
Instructions
Ways to change it up:
Replace the Chocolate TrimShake with Vanilla or Orange Cream TrimShake, or add in natural peanut butter. You can also give these smoothies a try from the Slim & Sassy website.
Make it a banana nut muffin smoothie: use 1 scoop Vanilla TrimShake along with 1 banana, frozen. Add in 1 tablespoon almond butter, and 6–16 ounces water (add 1 ounce at a time until desired consistency is reached).
Replace the banana with berries: 1 scoop Vanilla TrimShake, 2 cups frozen mixed berries, 1 tablespoon walnuts, ½ cup almond milk or yogurt, 1 cup spinach, 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed, and 12 ounces water.
¾ cup almond milk or oat milk
½ scoop Vanilla or Chocolate TrimShake
½ cup old-fashioned oats
1. Combine ingredients in a jar or a Tupperware container.
2. Shake to combine well.
3. Place in refrigerator overnight.
Use ¼ cup Greek Yogurt and ⅓ cup almond milk instead of just almond milk. Don't be afraid to cover the oats with milk—the oats will soak everything up while in the fridge.
1 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup natural peanut butter or any other nut butter
½ cup Vanilla TrimShake

3. Pour mixture in the pan and flatten. Press chocolate chips or cacao nibs into the top.
4. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until set. Lift out of pan and cut into squares. Store in fridge or freezer.
